Dears, I have Ubuntu 14 droplet which basically have Apache and Wordrpess and a couple of Node.js apps
I need to have my own VPN server to use at work because almost any port other than 80 and 443 is blocked
So I followed your tutorial and installed OpenVPN server on port 1194 so of course this is blocked at work
So as I did with my Node.js apps I opened my sites-available file in /etc/apache2 and added a virtual host which redirect to the droplet IP and port
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName vpn.xxx.xx
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://104.131.5.182:1194/
</VirtualHost>
And changed the .ovpn file with the new domain name and port: remote vpn.xxx.xx 80
But this didn’t work… (maybe it’s not http at all ?)
So I was hoping if you can help
Sorry I’m not expert on this, but I really did search a lot but couldn’t find a case similar to mine
Thanks a lot for your support.

So it was easy… I had to change values at /etc/openvpn/server.conf
It worked fine but SSH didn’t work :(
